Youth, Trust, and Transformation: The long-term impact of Police-Led Support for NEET Young People in Barbados (PATELA_UEA_SENSSC26)

Today’s young people are growing up in challenging times. A quarter of young people globally are not in employment, education or training. This knocks their confidence, worsens their mental health, increases their risk of long-term unemployment and poverty, increases crime and reduces economic growth.

King’s Trust International (KTI) is a global organisation that delivers education, employment and enterprise programmes in 19 countries across world, empowering young people to learn, earn and thrive. They want to help more young people lead fulfilling and meaningful lives but need your help! KTI have been working with the University of East Anglia (UEA) to develop a plan to gather robust evidence on the impact their training programme in Barbados.

This vital evidence will enable them to attract major innovation capital and government buy-in to deliver their transformational programmes across the world. The successful student will lead this impact evaluation with the support of two experienced academics and the full support of a major global development organisation.
